Published in conjunction with an exhibition on Belgian artist Rinus van de Velde at CAC Málaga from February through March 2013, this catalogue focuses on the self-referential nature of his work. The titles accompanying many of his images, in which the artist himself is the protagonist, are small narratives about the fictions they depict, or real-life reflections on the creative process, his beliefs and sentiments. In opposition to the real self, his self-portraits are an exercise in introspection that focuses on a recurring theme artistic creation but also the anti-ego. Besides numerous works and texts by the artist, the book includes a critical essay by Juan Francisco Rueda.
